Walt Simonson: Thor Original Art, 9\u2033x12\u2033 \u2013 Sold on October<\/strong>, 11 2020 for $4,6k<\/strong><\/p>\n

Walt Simonson: Beta Ray Bill Sketch Card, 2,5\u2033x3,5\u2033 \u2013 Sold on January, 19 2021 for $1,034<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Really surprised by this auction result, drawn on a small Hero Initiative branded sketch card (with profits of course benefiting H.I.). Usually Beta Ray Bill sketches on regular 9\u2033x12\u2033 paper sell on eBay for $100-300. I hope the price went so high for the charity purpose, not because prices are out of control.<\/p>\n

Walt Simonson and Greg Hildebrandt:<\/strong> Thor\/Zyra Original Comic Art, 12\u00d718\u2033 \u2013 Sold on March, 17 2021 for $6,200<\/a><\/p>\n

A Jam illustration for the Hero Initiative. Greg penciled Zyra, Walt drew Thor, the background and inked the whole drawing. One of the \u201cdouble Visions\u201d<\/a> illustrations, drawn by two artists jamming together and auctioned by the Hero Initiative on eBay.<\/p>\n

Walt Simonson:<\/strong> Thor sketch, 11\u00d717\u2033 \u2013 Sold on May, 2 2021 for $1,225<\/a><\/p>\n

Before the Covid-19 pandemic, there were three ways to obtain Walt Simonson\u2019s original art: quick sketches at conventions, the very rare auction of published art, and the annual IDW dinner at San Diego<\/a>. IDW sold 20 $500 tickets that comprised the dinner and a finished 11\u00d717\u2033 head sketch. As you can see, in two years, the value of those sketches on the secondary market has more than doubled.<\/p>\n

Bonus! comparable pieces on Heritage\u2019s Auction archives:<\/h3>\n

The original art to a great Thor cover<\/a> by Simonson\/Sinnott was sold for $15k in 2017.<\/p>\n

A very detailed Beta Ray Bill pinup<\/a> (created for charity in 2007) was sold in 2009 for $2,8k.<\/p>\n

A published Odin pinup<\/a> by Simonson\/Rubinstein was sold in 2019 for $2k.<\/p>\n
